Return to the Little French Guesthouse (La Cour des Roses)

Return to the Little French Guesthouse (La Cour des Roses)

<b>Blue skies, new love, and a glass of Bordeaux . . . what could possibly go wrong? </b><br><br>When <b>Emmy Jamieson</b> leaves her life behind and moves to <i>La Cour des Roses</i>, a gorgeous guesthouse amidst vineyards in France, everything is resting on her success as the new guesthouse manager. <br><br>Looming in the calendar is the biggest booking ever, when the entire eccentric, demanding Thomson family will descend for a golden wedding anniversary. With airbeds on the floor and caravans in the garden, <i>La Cour des Roses</i> will be bursting at the seams. <br><br>Emmy knows she’s up to the challenge, especially with the support of the gorgeous Alain, the half-French, half-English, caramel-eyed accountant. But she hadn’t counted on a naked, sleepwalking travel blogger, or the return of owner Rupert’s venomous ex-wife Gloria. <br><br>Gloria has a few things to say about Emmy’s new role, Rupert’s finances, and the unsuspecting Alain, which send everybody reeling. Just when Emmy can see a future for herself of endless sunshine, true love and laughter, are her dreams about to be ripped at the seams? <br><br><b>Fans of Jenny Colgan, Lucy Diamond and Nick Alexander will want to join Emmy for a glass of wine as the sun sets on the terrace at <i>La Cour des Roses</i>. <br><br>What readers are saying about <i>The Little French Guesthouse</i>:</b><br><br><b>‘I loved every single page of this book</b> and didn't want the story to end.
